究竟什么是智力？-阿西莫夫解释，为什么智力低些的反而能在智力测验时取得高分。
作者：艾萨克·阿西莫夫究竟什么是智力？当我在军队里时我遇到一种所有士兵参加的能力测试，对应通常的100分，会给160分。
基地里还没有人看到那样一种数字并且两个小时时间他们让我造成不必要的紧张（这不意味着任何事情。
第二天做为我的最高的职位我仍然是一名厨房值勤的列兵。
）在我的一生中，我一直在登记着那样的分数，以至于我产生了自满的感觉我是高智商的，并且我期待其他人也是这样认为。
实际上，虽然如此的分数并不简单地表明我在回答那种典型的学术性问题时是很好的，这些问题被那些设计智力测验的人们认为值得回答——那些人的智力与我的近似？例如，我曾经有一名汽车修理工，我估计他在这些智力测验方面是不可能有高过80的分数。
我总是据此以为我是比他聪明得多的。
但是，我的汽车出了任何问题时我总是赶紧让他来维修，当他检查汽车的零部件时我烦恼地看着他，听着他的似乎是圣言的判断——并且他总能修好我的汽车。
于是，就建议我的汽车修理工为一个智力测验设计问题。
或者建议一位木匠这么做，或者一位农民，或者其他人，的确，除了院士以外的所有人。
通过这些测验中的每一个证明，我自己是一个低能者。
并且我已经是一名低能者。
在一个我不能使用我所受的学院训练和我的口才但不得不用我的双手来做复杂或粗糙的工作的世界里，我会做得很糟糕。
所以，我的智力不是绝对的。
它的价值被我所生活的这个社会所决定。
它的数字价值被这个社会的已经设计了它的一小部分人所决定并将其强加于做为如此事情的公断人的我们中的其他部分。
再次考虑到我的汽车修理工。
他有一个无论什么时候都告诉我笑话的习惯。
有一次他从车头盖下面抬起头来说："博士，一位聋哑小伙子走进硬件仓库要些钉子。
他将两根手指头一起放在柜台上并用另一只手做锤的动作。
这个伙计给他一把锤子。
他摇头并指着他正在锤的两根手指头。
这位伙计带给他钉子。
他挑出他想要的尺寸的，离开了。
